MS&E 371: Innovation and Strategic Change

Doctoral research seminar, limited to Ph.D. students. Current research on innovation strategy. Topics: scientific discovery, innovation search, organizational learning, evolutionary approaches, and incremental and radical change. Topics change yearly. Recommended: course in statistics or research methods.
Last offered: Winter 2016 | Repeatable for credit

MS&E 372: Entrepreneurship Doctoral Research Seminar

Classic and current research on entrepreneurship. Limited enrollment, restricted to PhD students. Prerequisites: SOC 363 or equivalent, and permission of instructor.
Last offered: Spring 2016

MS&E 374: Cross Border Regional Innovation

This is an advanced research seminar class that is restricted to students that had taken MS&E 274. Disruptive innovation is the realization of new value proposition through establishment of a new ecosystem. Value proposition depends on the culture and social value in a particular region; while the ability to establish the ecosystem to realize the value proposition is highly dependent on the firm¿s knowledge and skills to operate effectively under the political, social, and economic structure of that particular region. Therefore cross border and regional innovations in different regions will take different path. This course will examine cases that cover innovations in developing economy, cross border e-commerce, and international business groups.
